Saurabh,

I got an error, LRM-00112: multiple values not allowed for parameter ‘logfile’, while running the same script:

#!/bin/ksh

################################################################
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=hrdmo91
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
expdp sysadm/sysadm@hrdmo91 dumpfile=expdp-’date ‘+%d%m%Y_%H%M%S”.dmp directory=hrdmo91_dir logfile=expdp-’date ‘+%d%m%Y_%H%M%S”.log schemas=sysadm

Could you shed some lights how to fix it?
Thank you in advance,
Lisa

Hi Niel,

There is solution for your password problem.
It is named as “Secure External Password Store” and is implemented by using “Oracle Wallet”.

It is described by Amit. Check the following link:

Hope this will help you..

Neil,

I doubt that we can do this without hiding password. But you can schedule DataPump jobs with dbms_scheduler if you have any security risk from OS.

Is there anyway to run a script like this and conceal the schema users password? We have are not allowed to store any passwords on the file system. If there was a way to store the passwords that would be great.
